chalk tip #9: zooming in and out: double-clicking and using the Zoom tool

This morning I wanted to share two ways of easily zooming in and out.

Zooming the easy way – double clicking.

Did you know?  In ImageScope, you can rapidly zoom in to full resolution by double-clicking anywhere on an image.  And then… you can return to the original zoom and position by double-clicking again.  Double-clicking works as a toggle; you double-click to zoom in, and then double-click again to zoom out.  Try it!

Zooming the precise way – using the zoom tool (Ctrl-Z).

Did you know?  In ImageScope, you can activate the Zoom tool with Ctrl-Z.  Then drag your mouse to select a region, and when you release the mouse button the selected area will fill the screen.  This works on the thumbnail as well as the main image.  Using the Zoom tool on the thumbnail you can zoom out as well as in – this is really useful.  Try it!
